FACTS ABOUT BEET SUGAR Disastrous Effect of Free Trade on the Industry Sugar is reduced in price by the trust refineries just as soon as the beet product comes on the market, and is up in price as soon as the beet competition disappears. For the few months of the year that the beet sugar is offered for sale consumers get their sugar much cheaper, completely demonstrating the beneficial effect that would follow if the beet sugar product was sufficient to furnish a supply for all the year. It is amazing under these circumstances that the democrats could have been led into the great folly of passing the bill in the house to put sugar on the free list while retaining protection for the sugar trust. The Agricultural Department reports 419 projects as having been organized for new beet sugar factories in 28 different states, and all of these projects, with the exception of 64, have been temporarily abandoned because of the destructive democratic tariff legislation. If only 218 of the abandoned projects had materialized this country would today be producing all the sugar it consumes, and we should have cheaper sugar at all seasons of the year. That shows what will be accomplished whenever an end has been put to this democratic attempt to destroy numerous industries by free trade tariff legislation. A report by the Agricultural Department shows that land in this country devoted to sugar beet culture in a few years increased in value per acre in California $59, in Colorado $49, in Utah $39, in Oregon $24, in Michigan $10, in Nebraska $18, and so on in other states. But the free traders in one party propose to make domestic sugar growing impossible. THE INDUSTRIAL HEN Remarkable Increase in Industry in California Poultry raising in California is a profitable industry. In a more or less practical way it has been carried on in all parts of the State, but in Sonoma, Los Angeles, Orange, Santa Clara, Merced, Sacramento, Colusa, Humboldt, and San Benito counties, and to a less extent in some others, the latest scientific methods are generally practiced with gratifying results. The industry is constantly extending, as the demand for poultry products greatly exceeds the home supply. Turkey-farming, as it is called, is mainly in the grain districts where the fowls can range. Hatching by incubators prevails generally. The largest incubator factory in the world is in Petaluma and turns out about 100,000 chicks per month, and runs to full capacity most of the year. The average chicken ranch near Petaluma consists of about five acres, upon which are placed 500 to 8000 hens. There are, of course, larger ranches which maintain 5000 to 80,000 chickens. A person should have from $3000 to $5000 to equip a chicken ranch and get ready for a profitable business. In case of renting, however, about $1500 is needed to start the prospective poultryman. The average profit on each hen is about $1.00 per year. Notwithstanding the remarkable development of the poultry business at Petaluma and other places, the increase is not sufficient to meet the demands of the market. The rapidly expanding population of the state requires the importation in season of some 425 carloads of live and 75 carloads of dressed poultry to San Francisco and Los Angeles, besides several million dozen eggs each year. RECREATION Commercial Organizations Receive Letters The California Department has sent to the conditions of the State their attention to Playground and Recreation of America, as well to local needs. The letter says thatnia is the ideal place creation, and the reason is particularly interesting are doing along the ground and recreation activities. While not be accomplished, they have not yet awakenness principle involve adequate playground facilities; there are cities which are carrying of playgrounds, parks etc. sufficiently broad developments of the area.

But the free traders in one party propose to make domestic sugar growing impossible and thereby decrease the market value of millions of acres of farm lands; while the free traders in the party that is supposed to hold protection as its "cardinal principle" have undertaken to reduce the market value of every acre of farm land in the United States by granting free trade privileges to the products of cheaper and more productive farm land in the Dominion of Canada. Some day the seven million farmers of the United States will arise in their might and sweep from office every free trader of whatsoever party. ARIZONA PRODUCES COAL State's Reserve Estimated at Billions of Tons Although Arizona has produced no coal on a commercial scale, it contains promising fields, which may be profitably exploited when transportation is offered and when population and manufactures have reached a point which will provide a market for the output. The more important of these fields are the Black Mesa coal fields, in the Hopi and Navajo Indian reservations, which are included within Coconino, Navajo, and Apache counties, and the Deer Creek field, in the extreme eastern end of Pinal county. The United States geological survey estimates that the coal land in the Black Mesa fields covers 5920 square miles, and that the fields contain 14,082,000,000 short tons, of which 8,000,000,000 tons are recoverable, the rest being under very heavy cover. The Deer Creek coal field includes an area of 30 square miles in the middle of the copper producing region of Arizona, and, estimating 24 inches of coal extends through the 30 square miles, the coal beds contain about 60,000,000 short tons. In these fields there are two grades of coal—one a hard black coal, well adapted for transportation and for commercial uses and also possesive profit on each hen is about $1.00 per year. Notwithstanding the remarkable development of the poultry business at Petaluma and other places, the increase is not sufficient to meet the demands of the market. The rapidly expanding population of the state requires the importation in season of some 425 carloads of live and 75 carloads of dressed poultry to San Francisco and Los Angeles, besides several million dozen eggs each year from eastern points, and there is no immediate prospect of the home supply overtaking the market. This fact insures the success of all practical poultrymen who engage in the industry in California. The daily food requirements for poultry in the Petaluma district for the year aggregate over 550 tons, or 11,000,000 pounds, of which wheat, barley, corn, bran, and middlings form the largest part, viz.: about 470 tons. BIG TREE SEEDLINGS Forest Service Has Several Acres at Lake Tahoe The Forest Service is raising several acres of Bigtree seedlings on the Tahoe national forest in California, at a more northerly point than any natural bigtree grove. While the giant sequolas are found in the forests of the Sierras at various points throughout a total range of some 250 miles, in the northern two-thirds of this range there is practically no natural reproduction. It has consequently been a question whether the species would not practically disappear from this region when the present mature trees die. The most northern existing grove of Bigtrees is on the Tahoe forest, but about 34 miles southeast of the site selected for planting. This site is on a moist flat not far from Nevada City, and is about 2700 feet above sea level. The first seeding was done in the fall of 1910, with very successful results, and last fall an additional area was seeded. The method used in planting the seed was that known to foresters as "the seed spot method." Spots about 6 feet apart each way were prepared by pulverizing the earth with a garden hoe. Seeds were then dropped on these spots and lightly pressed in the soil with the foot. The flourishing condition of the young seedlings gives good reason to expect a future growth of Bigtrees at this point.

The flourishing condition of the young seedlings gives good reason to expect a future growth of Bigtrees at this point. With protection of forests from fire there seems to be no reason why the Bigtrees should disappear, even though scientists regard them as survivals from a past age, botanically speaking. WHAT ABOUT THE BAIT? An old man was talking to a bachelor and asked him why he did not marry. He parried the question by telling about different young women he had known, finding some fault with each one. But it appeared all of them had married. "You are in danger of getting left," said the old man to him. "You had better hurry up before it is too late." "Oh," said the bachelor, "there are just as many good fish left in the sea." "I know that," replied the old man, "but the bait—isn't there danger of the bait becoming stale?" Ernest G. Lindner of San Francisco, representing the Mergenthaler linetype company, was in town on Saturday and made a pleasant call at this office. Mr. Lindner is in Los Angeles for two weeks installing type-casting machines, and dropped down to Anaheim to have a chat with old friends. RECREATION FOR PUPILS Commercial Organizations of State Receive Letters Upon Subject The California Development Board has sent to the commercial organizations of the State a letter directing their attention to the work of the Playground and Recreation Association of America, as it may be helpful to local needs. The letter says in part: "California is the ideal place for outdoor recreation, and the rest of the world is particularly interested in what we are doing along the lines of the playground and recreation association's activities. While much remains to be accomplished, and many towns have not yet awakened to the business principle involved in providing adequate playground and recreation facilities, there are other towns and cities which are carrying out systems of playgrounds, parks, athletic fields, etc. sufficiently broad to meet the developments of the coming years." Slides showing the recreation features of any community are welcomed by the secretaries of the association and freely used in their lecture work throughout the country. The commercial organizations of the state are urged by the California Development Board to take advantage of this means of advertising their towns by sending slides to the Pacific Coast Secretary, L. H. Weir, who has his office in the Phelan building, San Francisco.

FLAGS OF ADMIRALS. Rank Told by the Stars and Seniority by the Colors. In old sea stories one occasionally comes upon the term admiral of the blue, red or white. In bygone days the color of an admiral's flag proclaimed his rank. Now it denotes his seniority. Hence it comes about that an admiral must carry three personal flags in his locker. There are three grades of admiral—admiral, vice admiral and rear admiral. At one time commodore made a kind of half admiral, but that grade has now been abolished. The rank of an admiral is made plain to all seafaring persons by the number of stars on the flag hoisted at his foremast head. Thus four stars show an admiral, three a vice admiral and two a rear admiral. This is simple enough, but the harassing question arose, What if two admirals, two vice admirals or two rear admirals should happen to sail into port, each with a squadron? What, indeed, if three admirals, and so forth, should appear on the same scene? How could any one distinguish between them? Some innocent governor or mayor returning a visit of courtesy might call upon the junior first, and that would be a bad blunder. To obviate such a mischance it is now custom for admirals to mark their seniority by the color of their flags. Thus if three rear admirals happen into a port the senior flies a blue flag with two stars, the second a red flag with two stars and the junior a white flag with the same constellation. If the senior should leave port first the second promptly hoists his blue flag and the junior the red. Then if the second admiral steamed away the junior would hoist the blue flag for all the personal satisfaction there was in it. But here a serious question comes up. Suppose in the meantime a fourth rear admiral appeared on the scene. Then, as a naval authority explains, the situation for the respective flag lieutenants would become complicated. DATE PALMS FROM AFRICA Shipment Received at Thermal for Propagation on Desert R. P. Cundiff, county horticultural commissioner of Riverside county, is at Thermal, having received notification of the arrival there of two carloads of Alperian palm off-shoots, and which were shipped direct to the American Date Company from the deserts of Africa. Cundiff is there to superintend the treatment of these palms by the dipping process recently discovered as the best and only manner of ridding the palms of the scale with which all of the shipments that come from the orient are infested. After two years of experimenting on palm scale, a spraying process has been found, the base of which is petroleum, which is absolutely effective. A great vat, with a capacity of 600 gallons, has been furnished by the county to be used in dipping the palm offshoots, this vat having been sent to Thermal a few days ago in anticipation of this and other big shipments that are expected soon from Africa. The shoots are dipped thoroughly, being allowed to remain in the liquid for fifteen minutes, and after 24 hours are again subjected to the same process. These trees are to be set out at Durbrow, two miles from Thermal, by the American date company, which is going into the date raising business extensively in the eastern part of Riverside county. There are more than 2000 of the trees in the shipment now on the ground. ARCTIC INDIAN LIFE. A Heroic Mother and Her Reward When Her Son Was Grown.

A resolution embodying the point was passed at the regular monthly meeting held at Westminster on Wednesday night. A resolution endorsing the route selected by the State Commission was also passed. The resolutions did not go through without some opposition, however, for the representatives from Sunset Beach, Newport Beach and Huntington Beach, opposed both. They favored the coast boulevard. L. H. Wallace, J. A. Armitage and W. A. Cornellius spoke in opposition to the resolutions, while W. A. Zimmerman of Santa Ana, A. I. Stewart and Gus Stern of Fullerton, and Chas. Eygabroad of this city supported route selected. The secretary was instructed to ask the commission to notify the chambers at as early date as possible just what their plans are. When this information is obtained, the organization will get behind a bond proposition for improving the county roads and will boost with all the force it can command. Another resolution, requesting the supervisors to attend the meetings, was passed. The organization wishes the supervisors to keep in touch with its work, hence the resolution. The resolutions were the principal items of the meeting. About eighty were in attendance, the representatives from Santa Ana being W. A. Zimmerman, J. R. Paine C. E. Lamme and L. P. Hopper. The supper was prepared by the ladies of Westminster and the meeting was held at I.O.O.F. hall under the auspices of the Westminster improvement and promotion league. The address of welcome was by Rev. W. T.W ardle and the response by W. A. Cornellius, Newport Beach. THAT AMALGAMATED GUSHER Wild-Eyed Report of 10,000 Barrel a Pure Myth Some practical joker in the oil-red flag with two stars and the junior white flag with the same constellation. If the senior should leave port first the second promptly hoists his blue flag and the junior the red. Then if the second admiral steamed away the junior would hoist the blue flag for all the personal satisfaction there was in it. But here a serious question comes up. Suppose in the meantime a fourth rear admiral appeared on the scene. Then, as a naval authority explains, the situation for the respective flag lieutenants would become complicated. There would be two rear admirals of the white, one senior to the other, yet, so far as naval etiquette goes, indistinguishable in a flag sense even to an able seaman. Of course this is not very likely to happen except where the fleets of several nations gather. Then there would be a tremendous scramble to hunt up dates of promotion, because the flag lieutenant who carried his admiral off to call upon a junior would thereafter be an unhappy flag lieutenant—Youth's Companion. Blake's Invisible Model. William Blake, the artist and poet, moved continually in a company of angels and patriarchs. J. F. Nisbet in his "Insanity of Genius" recalls the story of a friend of Cunningham who once called on Blake and found him sitting, pencil in hand, and drawing a portrait with all the seeming anxiety of a man who is conscious of having a fastidious sitter. He looked and drew, and drew and looked, yet no living soul was visible. "Disturb me not," said Blake in a whisper. "I have some one sitting to me." "Sitting to you!" exclaimed the astonished visitor. "Where is he? I see no one." "But I see him," answered Blake haughtily. "There he is. His name is Lot. You may read of him in the Scriptures. He is sitting for his portrait." A CURIOUS ACCIDENT. It Caused the Wreck, Long Shrouded In Mystery, of a Schooner. The queer accidents that have happened to Maine vessels would fill a volume, and some of them would not be believed. An old coaster captain recalled the mysterious wreck of the little schooner Active in Fox Island thoroughfares some years ago. It was in the fall of the year, and the Active was going through the narrow passage between the islands. She carried only two men, the master, Captain Ray, and his sixteen-year-old son. When last seen under sail the Active was shipshape, the boy at the wheel and his father below taking a nap, as it was afterward found. Next day the Active was found on the rocks, with her stern stove in, the master drowned in his bunk and the boy dead at the wheel with a bullet hole in his head. ARCTIC INDIAN LIFE. A Heroic Mother and Her Reward When Her Son Was Grown. In "The Arctic Prairies," by Ernest Thompson Seton, a grewsome picture of Indian life is given in the following incident: "One winter, forty or fifty years ago, a band of Algonquin Indians at Wayabimika all starved to death except one squaw and her baby. She fled from the camp, carrying the child, thinking to find friends and help at Nipigon House. She got as far as a small lake near Deer lake and there discovered a cache, probably in a tree. This contained one small bone fishhook. She rigged up a line, but had no bait. "The walling of the baby spurred her to action. No bait, but she had a knife. A strip of flesh was quickly cut from her own leg, a hole made through the ice, and a fine jackfish was the food that was sent to this devoted mother. She divided it with the child, saving only enough for bait. She stayed there living on fish until spring, then safely rejoined her people. "The boy grew up to be a strong man, but was cruel to his mother, leaving her finally to die of starvation. Anderson knew the woman. She showed him the scar where she cut the bait." ODD OLD CHOCTAW LAWS. One Made the Selling of Their Land a Capital Crime. In an old set of laws of the Choctaw Nation there is a clause which relates to the killing of witches. For witchcraft the penalty was death, and for alleging oneself to be a witch or for saying that any other person was one was punishable by sixty lashes on the bare back. Another declared that no doctor could take money or any of the belongings of a patient he treated if the patient died. If the patient were raised up from a sickbed the doctor could accept what was offered to him, and if nothing was offered then he could take in goods what was his just compensation. In 1834 the Choctaw council passed an act which made a person who bargained to sell any of the Choctaw land a traitor and punishable by death. Any white man who encouraged such action was deported. An Indian who sold or disposed of land either to individuals or to the United States in totto should be considered a traitor and shot on conviction. This was just preceding the beginning of the work of the The supper was prepared by the ladies of Westminster and the meeting was held at I.O.O.F. hall under the auspices of the Westminster improvement and promotion league. The address of welcome was by Rev. W. T.W. ardle and the response by W. A. Cornellus, Newport Beach. THAT AMALGAMATED GUSHER Wild-Eyed Report of 10,000 Barrel a Pure Myth Some practical joker in the oilfields perpetrated a grim hoax upon a number of newspapers last week, by telephoning in that Amalgamated well No. 10 had developed a 10,000-barrel gusher at 1500 feet. A Los Angeles paper was taken in by the story, and a number of Orange county papers as well. The yarn reached this office on Wednesday morning with all the earmarks of a fake. Other wells on Amalgamated lease are better than 3000 feet, and a 10,000 gusher at half that depth was too shady a story to adopt as true without verification. Its falsity was soon revealed, and the important-if-true item went into the waste basket. It is reported that Amalgamated rose 4 1-2 points, as a result of the story. That the hoax was sent in from the hills with a view to bullying the market is suspected in certain quarters. Don't let lice eat up your valuable poultry when it's so easy to get rid of them.

She carried only two men, the master, Captain Ray, and his sixteen-year-old son.

Next day the Active was found on the rocks, with her stern stove in, the master drowned in his bunk and the boy dead at the wheel with a bullet hole in his head. This discovery caused a great sensation, and there appeared to be no motives for any one to kill the boy, and as it was known that the shot must have been fired by a third person, the whole affair was a mystery and remained thus for years, when a man in a distant state confessed on his deathbed that it was he who fired the shot that killed the helmsman of the Active. The man said that he had fired at a hawk, which was circling low, and did not see the schooner, which suddenly came into range, owing to an intervening clump of bushes. Then he was horrified to see the boy at the schooner's wheel throw up his hands and fall to the deck, while the vessel broached to and was driven ashore by the wind and tide. The gunner, who was after gulls and ducks, fled without waiting to investigate the result of his unfortunate shot, fearing that if he reported the matter to the authorities he might, although innocent of any criminal intent, be imprisoned.—Washington Post.

They are also fond of "dragon teeth," as fossilized shells are called. In Shantung glue is made from asses' skins. In a certain town of that province is a well, the water of which when drunk by asses makes their skins especially good for making glue. This glue brings a fancy prize, as it is a famous tonic throughout China.—Chicago Tribune. IT ALL DEPENDED Pat Rooney, having been to the fair, was driving home when a drowsiness overcame him and he lay down in the cart and went to sleep. The horse finding himself free to do as he wanted promptly kicked over the traces and ran away. When Pat awoke he found no horse. While he was pondering over the situation a stranger came up. "Am I Pat Rooney or am I not?" asked Pat. "Oi'm shure I dunno," answered the stranger. "Well," said Pat, "if Oi'm Pat Rooney Oi've lost a horse, an if Oi'm not Oi've found a cart." Come Now.
